M...Yeah, I got into the beta, both closed and open. My take? It's slow slow slow SLOW!!! Really, this game is literally the slowest moving game I've ever played. Navigation is one of the single most complex things I've seen, and the game needs a major overhaul in terms of complexity. The ship to ship battles take a while to get (go in with the mindset of a naval vessel instead of airplane style combat and you'll get the hang of it quickly enough) but ground combat is painfully inept. And believe me, there is a lot of ground combat. Battles are long, complex, and generally boring on both land and in space.<br /><br />Overall I'd say this isn't a BAD game... but it's definately not a game I plan to buy.Polecathttp://afterdark.planetfurry.com/~polecatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-35414155651642691842010-01-22T13:23:36.830-08:002010-01-22T13:23:36.830-08:00Dink, I have to say that is the weirdest promotion...Dink, I have to say that is the weirdest promotion ever!Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-60558925516429053942010-01-22T13:11:58.960-08:002010-01-22T13:11:58.960-08:00Get a free trial here. http://www.startrekonline.c...Get a free trial here. http://www.startrekonline.com/deltacoDinknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-32002485213971015092010-01-22T08:07:07.092-08:002010-01-22T08:07:07.092-08:00No Mac version.

I haven't gotten to hang out with him in a while, so shooting romulans together sounds like fun.<br /><br />I have not tried the beta. However, the ship combat seems pretty stellar. I'm also predicting that, while the ground combat is kinda meh, a casual player will be able to do a fair amount of their progression only in space.<br /><br />Added note - Can you link the EJ thread you mentioned?

I&...I am actually of the opposite opinion as above. I've been playing the beta, and I've been enjoying it so far. The way it's structured makes it ideal for just logging in for a bit whenever you want, since quests and events are generally pretty short yet enjoyable, and any one that requires a party will put you in one automatically when you enter that region.<br /><br />The ship combat reminds me a lot of Starfleet Command (though a lot simpler), which is a game I really enjoyed so I'm also really liking it in STO. Ground combat is fairly standard, but it's nice that you get AI party members if you're not already in a group.<br /><br />I'm sure that it gets complicated later, but that's something I'll be worried about later. For now, it's a pretty enjoyable game.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492971146589461692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-36897594931086015832010-01-21T23:45:14.870-08:002010-01-21T23:45:14.870-08:00I tried the beta.
